You already know how important this election is to federal employees like us. But did you know that Election Day is only a month away?
That's right - next month, the country will go to the polls and decide who will represent us in the Senate and in Congress. Which means that AFGE members like you have a month to get involved, and make sure that our Senators and Congress members will fight for federal employees.
As a union, it is vital that we support candidates that support government employees. We need Senators and Congress members that will stand up for fair pay for federal workers, fight for federal retirement benefits, and work to ensure that our federal agencies stay open and fully staffed.
The easiest way to make sure the right people are elected to stand up for our rights, is to vote. Making sure that you and your friends are registered to vote in this election, and making sure you know where your polling place is, is a great first step. You can find information on both of those at Turbovote.
To get more involved in getting out the labor vote, AFGE and our union brothers and sisters at the AFL-CIO are holding phone banks and Labor to Neighbor walks across the country. We need you to make a few calls after work, and meet your neighbors on the weekend, to encourage your friends and coworkers to vote. To learn more, go to the Labor 2014 page to find events in your area.
Theres only a few weeks left to go, so dont delay! Visit AFGEs Stand Up 2014 election pages to play your part in taking our country back.
Well,we non federal government employees do pay their salaries,guess we have some say in this election,looking forward to Election Day.
These parasites need to be curbed. Americans have lost faith in government in large measure to the corrupt influence of public employee and teachers union on our political system, primarily Democrats.
We need to take advantage of some of the chaos in government that is coming our way to shrink the size and role of government, destroy these parasitic union, and defeat Democrats.
I cannot wait to get to the polls along with my Mom, my sister and brother in law and Mr. GG2, his sister, brother in law and nephew. All voting GOP.
Election Days a Week Away!
Early voting starts Oct 15 in TN...
Precisely! And that's why, unlike a percentage of FReepers, I have never bought into the whole "Martin Luther King is one of us" nonsense.
So what was MLK doing in Memphis back during April 1968? Was this "minister of the gospel" preaching the truths of Christianity and the Path to Salvation? NO! He was marching side-by-side with Jesse Jackson and a bunch of commies in support of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Anyone supporting unions gets nothing but my total scorn and contempt and that includes Saint Marty.
No, we don't. They will tell you flat out that you have no say. Govt. employees, at least 80% of them, are nothing but leeches.
Even Franklin Roosevelt thought that public employees unions was going too far. Liberal dreamer that he was, he thought that civil service should remain insulated from politics. Those commies and socialists who constituted the foot soldiers of his progressive machine got rid of FDR’s silly notions before his body was cold.
I wonder how many dead Democrats will come back from the dead and how many illegal immigrants will vote multiple times under fake IDs handed out by the administration?
We're busy...yes...but no matter what...go to the polls and get rid of these Dems once and for all.
There has to be a way to stop the stealing of elections. I regard vote theft to be as dangerous to our country as any terrorist group.
How can we ensure that the electoral process hasn’t been hacked? What safeguards do we really have? There has to be oversight and safeguardsv in every step of the process or it can’t be trusted.

Especially when it’s done BY a terrorist group ; The Muslim Brotherhood in our WH.
